Patriot Games Page #4

Synopsis: Former CIA analyst, Jack Ryan is in England with his family on vacation when he suddenly witnesses an explosion outside Buckingham Palace. It is revealed that some people are trying to abduct a member of the Royal Family but Jack intervenes, killing one of them and capturing the other, and stops the plan in its tracks. Afterwards, he learns that they're Irish revolutionaries and the two men are brothers. During his court hearing the one that's still alive vows to get back at Jack but is sentenced and that seems to be the end of it. However, whilst the man is being transported, he is broken out. Jack learns of this but doesn't think there's anything to worry about. But, when he is at the Naval Academy someone tries to kill him. He learns that they are also going after his family and so he rushes to find them, safe but having also been the victims of a failed assassination. That's when Jack decides to rejoin the CIA, and they try to find the man before he makes another attempt.

that you're looking for a girl, -

- and he gives you pictures of

a girl. Do you believe him?

I didn't tell him

I was looking for a girl.

Sarge, come and look at this.

Im a bit of a bookworm, not that

you'd know it to look at me.

What's your passion then?

Mysteries? Spy novels?

- This is a rare book shop.

- Rare? Yes, so they are.

- Can you locate the problem?

- I already have.

The wiring in this place

dates from before the war.

Its what we call

in the electrical business ... rare.

- I can fix it, but can you afford it?

- Just fix it.

- He's seen it, hasn't he?

- I don't know.

- He's got it.

- What do you make of this?

I...

I have no idea!

Damn!

I have to go out for a few minutes

to deliver some books.

- Keep about your repairs.

- Ill be here all week.

He gave me the hat.

He said, This is for you, my dear.

Damn!

Dinner at the White House

is no problem.

- What is the problem?

- We're running out of dates.

We could move that to there...

Which would leave us the 14th.

Check with John Ryan

about a presentation -

- at our embassy in Washington

on the...

... 14th.

Let's go over this again.

We start in Washington...

- Geoffrey Watkins.

- Im trying to reach Mr. Titus.

- Is that extension 2691?

- No, this is 2619.

Im terribly sorry.

- What are you doing up?

- I want to be there when she wakes.

Ill go with you

and take a cab back.

Hello ... Yes, just a minute.

- Its for you, Sir John.

- Hello?

Mr. Ryan is holding a celebration.

Would you care to join them?

- Where? At his house?

- Yes, sir.

Why not?

We shot this

eight days ago in Berlin.

One, two, three...

Four Brits travelling with him.

Light arms.

- The heavy stuff is in the cars.

- He's German.

- Is this boring you, Sean?

- Six altogether.

- Itll be the same in Washington.

- Holmes will always be protected.

Four days in Washington

and one day in New York...

... shopping.

Yeah, two Caucasians.

Take a look at the one with the hat.

- His arms look a little pink.

- Sunburn. A new arrival.

What do you think, same guy?

The rare-book dealer, Dennis Cooley.

He's bald.

Its possible there's a woman

in some of these camps.

But with her and Cooley

in the same place...

... if that is Cooley, the odds

of coincidence are dropping fast.

But still,

there's no way I can be...

... absolutely certain.

Jack, tell me one thing in life

that is absolutely certain.

My daughter's love.

What I need is your best guess,

and I think Ive heard it.

Haven't I?

The bastards took away

my book shop and my books.

Im sorry, you can't come.

You haven't got the training.

- This mission will be very messy.

- I can fire a gun.

Sorry, Dennis.

- Where are you taking me, Marty?

- Its you who have taken us, Jack.

Into battle.

Airborne support in target area.

ETA, 35 seconds.

SAS team on the ground.

Enlarge camp 18.

Enlarge primary target.

That is a kill.

Targets have been neutralized.

Airborne support approaching.

SAS team withdrawing.

We're passing out of visual.

Its over.

Come on, honey.

- Would your men like some coffee?

- No, thank you.

Thank you, Miss Ryan,

for inviting us to your homecoming.

You're a gracious host, and it's my

pleasure to make your acquaintance.

You're welcome.

Ill make the presentation

after dinner.

Would you like to see it now?

- That's very nice.

- I already gave you one of those.

That's your second piece of cake.

- Where's the bathroom?

- Second door on the left.

- More coffee?

- Id love some.

- Excuse me.

- Here it comes.

Bathroom.

- There's someone in there.

- No, that's the basement.

- Hello.

- Jack, it's Marty.

I thought

you'd like to know right away.

- SAS just identified Cooley.

- What about the others?

Pretty messy. Itll take 48 hours

to verify the dental records.

They're keeping right on it.

The storm knocked the power.

I have to light some candles.

- Ill light one for you, too.

- Thanks, Marty.

Forget to pay your bill, Cath?

- Is everyone all right?

- Just fine.

This only happens when

we have royalty over for dinner.

- Is something wrong?

- Come with me.

The storm would have knocked out

the lights in the boathouse, too.

The power comes in

from the street and branches off.

Jesus!

This is Ryan. Any DSS agent?

Maryland Troopers? Anyone?

Anyone reading me?

Anybody?

- Can I come down later on?

- You've got to get some sleep.

Goddamn!

- Don't tell them.

- Quite a storm.

Take your hands off me!

What are you doing?

Gun.

Stay right there.

Rob, over here.

How many are coming?

Where's Sean Miller?

- What are you talking about?

- Give me the gun.

Five, six ... maybe more.

Ill get the others.

Don't turn on the lights.

- Go to the basement. Where's Cathy?

- She's putting Sally to bed.

Come on, Ryan. Show yourself.

Annette, upstairs.

- Come on, sweetie.

- What's wrong, Mommy?

Climb up on the stool.

Shine the light up there.

God, Jack, what did you do

with the shells?

Go.

Get down.

Get back!

Are you all right? Where's Sally?

Its okay, honey.

Come on.

You've got to be real quiet.

Got you!

Christ!

Hold on.

Come on.

- Who is off the air?

- DSS, State Troopers, everyone.

Get me Hostage Rescue, now!

Robby, open up.

- Its us.

- Jack?

- They're outside.

- We want the Royal alive.

They're all over the place.

How were you going to get away?

Do I go for the other knee?

Boats at the bottom of the cliff.

There are ropes.

Kevin!

You've killed him!

No, Sean! We need Holmes alive.

- We're past that.

- Alive!

Come on.

- Any contact?

- They're still off the air.

There he is!

Stay down.

Come on, you bastards.

Come on.

He's alone.

He's leading us away from the royal.

- Turn around.

- No.

Turn it round.

- Turn it round.

- Forget about Ryan.

- Don't blow the mission now.

- That's not my mission.

You crazy bastard!

- Do you want some toast?

- Pancakes.

There's no time for pancakes.

Toast or ... toast?

Is somebody going to get that?

Hello? Yes, she is.

Hold on a second.

- Its Dr Zaillian.

- The amnio.

- Is it going to be okay?

- We're just waiting to find out.

- What do you want on your toast?

- Strawberry.

Do you want to know what it is?

He's asking.

I don't know. Do you want to know?

- I don't know. Do you?

- Im not sure.

Hold on, we're discussing it.

I do and I don't.

He's waiting.

Okay, tell us.

Okay, tell us.

Thank you.
